White Gypsies by Eva Peir

White Gypsies by Eva Peir

Reveals how Spanish film musicals, long dismissed as unworthy of critical scrutiny, illuminate Spain's relationship to modernity

"White Gypsies enriches our understanding of the material history of the pre-, post-, and civil war periods, broadens Spanish cinema studies to focus on more popular forms of film entertainment, and combines a novel attention to race with nuanced readings of the intersections of the cinematographic construction of class, gender, and sexuality during the first half of the twentieth century" —Susan Martin-Márquez, Rutgers University

"Eva Woods Peiró argues that Spanish musicals, while highly ambivalent and problematic in terms of their representation of race, are not reactionary exaltations of a premodern rural Spain but that their central notion of female stardom inserts women into modernity. This crucial perception turns interpretations of the genre on its head." —Jo Labanyi, New York University

Eva Woods PeirÓ is associate professor of Hispanic studies and director of the Media Studies Program at Vassar College.
